Amport & Monxton Movies – Autumn Season

Monxton and Amport Village Hall

‘Before The Rains’ (12A) - Tuesday 25 November  at 7.30 p.m.

"Passion has its price." 

Set in 1930s southern India against the backdrop of a growing nationalist movement, Before the Rains is a Merchant-Ivory production and the English language début of acclaimed Indian director Santosh Sivan.  An idealistic young Indian man (Rahul Bose) finds himself torn between his ambitions for the future and his loyalty to the past when people in his village learn of an affair between his British boss (Linus Roache) and a village woman (Nandita Das).

“In Santosh Sivan's melancholy, lyrical, and intelligent film, this quiet Englishman stands for the tragic twilight of empire, and his ‘goodness’ is rife with betrayal and arrogance beneath the surface."    Deepak Chopra
